The notion of probability density for a random function is not as straightforward as in finite-dimensional cases. While a probability density function generally does not exist for functional data, we show that it is possible to develop the…
Given a measurable dynamical system $(X,\mathcal{X},\mu,T)$, where $X$ is a compact metric space, $\mathcal{X}$ is the Borel $\sigma$-algebra on $X$, $\mu$ is a $T$-invariant Borel probability measure and $T$ is a homeomorphism acting on…
The variance-based method of Sobol sensitivity indices is very popular among practitioners due to its efficiency and easiness of interpretation. However, for high-dimensional models the direct application of this method can be very time…
We study the multifractal analysis of self-similar measures arising from random homogeneous iterated function systems. Under the assumption of the uniform strong separation condition, we see that this analysis parallels that of the…
New global sensitivity measures based on quantiles of the output are introduced. Such measures can be used for global sensitivity analysis of problems in which quantiles are explicitly the functions of interest and for identification of…
The PAWN index is gaining traction among the modelling community as a sensitivity measure. However, the robustness to its design parameters has not yet been scrutinized: the size ($N$) and sampling ($\varepsilon$) of the model output, the…
This chapter makes a review, in a complete methodological framework, of various global sensitivity analysis methods of model output. Numerous statistical and probabilistic tools (regression, smoothing, tests, statistical learning, Monte…
Stockart et al. (2025) recommend guidelines for best practices in the field of unconscious cognition. However, they condone the repeatedly criticized technique of excluding trials with high visibility ratings or of participants with high…
Let $\cal{N}=\{1,\cdots,n\}$. The entropy function $\bf h$ of a set of $n$ discrete random variables $\{X_i:i\in\cal N\}$ is a $2^n$-dimensional vector whose entries are ${\bf{h}}({\cal{A}})\triangleq H(X_{\cal{A}}),\cal{A}\subset{\cal N}…
Getting tools that allow simple representations and comparisons of a set of categorical trajectories is of major interest for statisticians. Without loosing any information, we associate to each state a binary random indicator function,…
Feature selection procedures for spatial point processes parametric intensity estimation have been recently developed since more and more applications involve a large number of covariates. In this paper, we investigate the setting where the…
In this expository paper aimed at a general mathematical audience, we discuss how to combine certain classic theorems of set-theoretic inner model theory and effective descriptive set theory with work on Hilbert's tenth problem and…
We study $BV$ functions in a Hilbert space $X$ endowed with a probability measure $\nu$, assuming that $\nu$ is Fomin differentiable along suitable directions. We establish basic characterizations, and we apply the general theory to…
We provide a new algorithm for solving Risk Sensitive Partially Observable Markov Decisions Processes, when the risk is modeled by a utility function, and both the state space and the space of observations is finite. This algorithm is based…
Let $\xi_1,\xi_2,...$ be independent identically distributed random variables and $F:\bbR^\ell\to SL_d(\bbR)$ be a Borel measurable matrix-valued function. Set $X_n=F(\xi_{q_1(n)},\xi_{q_2(n)},...,\xi_{q_\ell(n)})$ where $0\leq…
Using Fourier series representations of functions on axisymmetric domains, we find weighted Sobolev norms of the Fourier coefficients of a function that yield norms equivalent to the standard Sobolev norms of the function. This…
We develop non-asymptotically justified methods for hypothesis testing about the $p-$dimensional coefficients $\theta^{*}$ in (possibly nonlinear) regression models. Given a function $h:\,\mathbb{R}^{p}\mapsto\mathbb{R}^{m}$, we consider…
It is now practically the norm for data to be very high dimensional in areas such as genetics, machine vision, image analysis and many others. When analyzing such data, parametric models are often too inflexible while nonparametric…
Let $(1) Rh=f$, $0\leq x\leq L$, $Rh=\int^L_0 R(x,y)h(y) dy$, where the kernel $R(x,y)$ satisfies the equation $QR=P\delta(x-y)$. Here $Q$ and $P$ are formal differential operators of order $n$ and $m<n$, respectively, $n$ and $m$ are…
Reliability-oriented sensitivity analysis aims at combining both reliability and sensitivity analyses by quantifying the influence of each input variable of a numerical model on a quantity of interest related to its failure. In particular,…
